Ferran Adria and his crew of el Bulli were at MIT last week. Working with the master plan developed by Enric Ruiz Geli, the MIT team comprised of Anton Garcia Abril (our coordinator) and myself, along with Cristina Parreno, Lorena Bello, Kent Larson, Meejin Yoon, Neri Oxman, we developed a series of interventions on the el Bulli site, on the coast of southern Spain, in Cala Montjoi.
The Spanish government has approved plans for the development of the site, and the MIT team has contributed a series of installations, protocols, and spaces that speak to the ethos of el Bulli– framing the relationship between experimentation, art and the senses.
After the MIT charrette, Adria opened his exhibit at the Museum of Science with an extraordinary feast of gastronomical experiments.
The next steps are still to be developed. Stay tuned!
